SASH-CURTAIN microns.

Application filed April 28, 1921. :Eerial No. 485,172.

To all iii/tom it may concern lie it known that I, SIDNEY C. HiLLs, a citizen of the United States, residing at 'lorrington, county of IJiliChfiGld, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash(lurtain Fixtures, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in curtain (fixtures, and has for its object to provide a simple and mechanically efiicient straight curtain rod of the Hat type and end brackets such that the flat rod will be securely held in place andheld from turning about its longitudinal axis.

The following is a description of an embodiment of my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the fixture secured to the face of a window frame;

Fig. 2 shows a sideielevation of the same on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 3 shows a horizontal sectional view on the line 3-3, Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4. shows a fixture mounted with the brackets secured to the opposing faces of the frame.

Referring more particularly to the draw ings, 1 is the frame of a window having the sash 2. 3-8 are sections of a flat telescop inn rod, the vertical dimension being much greater than the horizontal dimension These sections have on their rear faces approaching flanges forming sockets. 4.--4C are keepers secured to the frame and supporting curved loops 5-5 pivotally mounted therein, the pivotal portions of the loops being closed and the opposite ends thereof being open as shown at 6. the sides otsaid over the yielding arms of the loop 5.

be mounted upon the outer face of the sash or can be mounted upon the inner faces 7 thereof.

In mounting-the fixture,.the keepers are first secured in the desired position and the rod is then put into place, the telescoping section being pulled out suiiiciently to slip l The fixture thus provided when thus assembled is well supported and is simple to manufacture and neat in appearance.

When one end of the telescoping body portion is disengaged from its bracket the re mainder is supported so that it together with the curtain can be swung inward away from the window.

As will be evident to those skilled in the art, my invention permits of various modifications without departing from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. In a curtain. fixture, the combination of a rod comprising two vertically flattened telescoping, sections and two brackets each composed of a. keeper and an elongated loop pivotally mounted therein to turn about a sul'istantially vertical axis, the arms of said loops terminating infree ends and lying in a vertical plane and entering); ends of said sections.'

2. In a curtain fixture, the combinationof a rod comprising two vertically flattened telescoping sections and two brackets each composed ot a keeper and an elongated loop pivotally mounted therein to turn about a substantially vertical axis, the arms of said. loops terminating in free ends and lying in a vertical plane and entering ends of said sections, the arms of said loop being curved about a vertical axis adjacent to said keepers.
